Published  monthly  by  Colorado  State  Teachers  College,  Greeley,  Colorado.  Entered  as

Recreational  and  Scenic'|Trips 
for  Students 


Prospective  students  at  Colorado  State  Teachers  Col- 
lege will  find  set  forth  herewith  a few  of  the  mountain  and 
scenic  trips  arranged  for  their  pleasure  while  attending 
Summer  School.  This  program  is  a hint  only.  It  is  simply 
an  indication  of  the  possibilities.  There  are  numerous  other 
possible  trips,  all  within  the  range  of  an  economical  purse, 
which  can  be  arranged  for  at  the  request  of  any  group. 

On  mountain  and  plain  there  is  much  to  be  seen  and 
enjoyed  by  college  students,  and  the  College  will  gladly 
assist  in  arranging  trips  for  any  group  of  students  exhibit- 
ing a desire  for  the  outdoor  life. 

One  of  the  most  striking  bits  of  scenery  in  the  Plains 
region  of  Colorado  is  Pawnee  Buttes.  Like  great  white 
ships  they  stand  out  against  a sky  of  intense  blue  and  have 
attracted  artists  from  far  and  wide.  But  scenic  beauty  is  not 
all  the  Pawnee  Buttes  have  to  offer.  Here  is  one  of  the  geo- 
logical landmarks  of  the  world.  Here  the  early  life  history 
of  the  horse  and  the  camel  have  been  largely  worked  out. 
This  ancient  cemetery  is  still  the  mecca  of  geologists  from 
far  and  wide  since  it  was  first  investigated  by  the  two  great 
paleontologists  Marsh  and  Cope  over  a half  century  ago. 
Pawnee  Buttes  are  conveniently  accessible  to  Greeley,  being 
about  sixty  miles  away.  Usually  the  roads  are  good  and 
one  may  camp  near  the  buttes  over  night.  One  of  the  few 
herds  of  antelope  still  wild  on  the  plains  of  Colorado  is 
seen  near  the  buttes  and  coyotes  and  other  wild  life  are 
common. 

An  interesting  sight,  and  one  which  has  claimed  atten- 
tion of  scientists  far  and  wide,  is  the  home  of  the  Blue 
Herons,  located  four  miles  west  of  Greeley  and  the  college 
campus.  A grove  of  trees  located  along  the  banks  of  the 
Cache  la  Poudre  house  in  their  topmost  branches  hundreds 
of  these  magnificent  birds. 

The  “Natural  Fort”  is  another  point  of  interest,  par- 
ticularly to  the  student  of  history  and  of  western  life.  The 
fort  is  located  near  Carr,  Colorado,  on  the  way  to  Chey- 
enne. 

The  famous  “SLW”  dude  ranch  is  located  only  ten 
miles  from  the  college  campus,  and  students  who  desire  a 
taste  of  this  life  will  find  this  an  excellent  opportunity. 

Definite  scheduled  trips,  showing  the  dates  and  cost  of 
same,  will  be  found  in  the  pages  following.
